FMC Etre Atrazine 50% WP Herbicide – Pre-Emergent, Selective Weed Control for Maize & Sugarcane

FMC Etre (Atrazine 50% WP) is a pre-emergence, selective herbicide that stops tough broadleaf and grassy weeds before they compete with your crop. The triazine active Atrazine (a Photosystem-II inhibitor) forms a uniform soil layer that prevents weed seedlings from establishing—supporting clean rows, uniform emergence, and stronger yield potential in maize and sugarcane. Its wettable-powder system disperses evenly for consistent, long-lasting control of common problem weeds such as Amaranthus, Digitaria, Echinochloa, and Xanthium.

Experience-backed insight: Apply immediately after sowing/planting and before weed emergence. A fine, firm, and slightly moist seedbed plus light irrigation/rain for activation typically reduces early weed pressure in the first 3–4 weeks, lowers early labour, and improves ROI.

How to Use (Practical Tips)

1. Prepare a fine, firm seedbed; avoid large clods and ensure adequate moisture.
2. Make a thin slurry in a small amount of water, then add to the spray tank under agitation; top up to the final volume.
3. Spray uniformly to create a continuous layer on the soil surface; avoid overlaps and misses.
4. Light irrigation or timely rainfall aids activation; avoid heavy runoff conditions.
